Hydrothermal alteration minerals and structural features are typically associated with this type of mineralization. Application of multi-sensor remote sensing satellite imagery as a fast and inexpensive tool for mapping alteration zones and lithological units associated with carbonate-hosted Pb-Zn deposits is worthwhile.
Using state-of-the-art techniques in computer vision, we analyze one million satellite images covering 12% of the African continent between 1984 and 2019 to track local development around 1,658 mineral deposits. We use stacked event studies and difference-in-difference models to estimate the impact of mine openings and closings. …
This work explores the combination of free cloud computing, free open-source software, and deep learning methods to analyze a real, large-scale problem: the automatic country-wide identification and classification of surface mines and mining tailings dams in Brazil. Locations of officially registered mines and dams were obtained from the …

learning analysis of satellite imagery, followed by validation of mapped areas using alternative satellite imagery, corporate data, and/or field investigations.
A sound understanding of geography is needed in every phase of a mining venture development. Starting with exploration and resource mapping, the extraction of regional and local fracture patterns and the identification of lithological unites, to mineral analysis, to finding an ideal location for the mining facility, including disaster …
Monitor mines with a time series of images for insight into mining activity as it evolves (or did evolve), from tracking infrastructure updates, to locating nearby land …
There is no single, large-scale or 'major' mining operation in the country, while Ghana has more than thirty of such mining operations. The solid minerals and mining sector contributed a paltry 0. ...

Interpretation of aeromagnetic and satellite imagery data to produce structural and geological maps that help target deposits; Ranking of exploration targets for specific deposit styles or commodities;
Satellite Imagery in Mineral Exploration. Satellite imagery is a powerful tool in mineral exploration. With advancements in satellite technology, we are now able to obtain high-resolution images that can be instrumental in the identification of geological features associated with mineral deposits.
The Earth's surface comprises minerals diagnostic of weathering, deposition and erosion. The first continental-scale mineral maps generated from an imaging satellite with spectral bands designed ...
Therefore, imagery data is the basis for improved renaturation management. Satellite remote sensing and imagery analytics are also useful, given the possibility of farming or other economic …
The concept of conflict diamonds or "blood diamonds" emerged in the late 1990s when it became evident that several violent civil wars in Africa were connected to mining and trading of rough diamonds. In 2006, the U.S. Geological Survey was asked by the U.S. Department of State to help address illegal diamond mining in Africa.
A careful analysis of satellite images has revealed marked changes in the suspended-sediment concentrations of many rivers around the world. The study links these changes directly to river mining ...
